About Tracy Barnes
Tracy Barnes Spradlin practices law in both state and federal courts. She is admitted to the Federal Circuit and licensed in Missouri and Kansas. She is a member of the Spradlin Kennedy Law Office, where she handles matters that require appearances across those jurisdictions.
She completed her legal education before gaining admission to practice in Missouri and Kansas. Admission to the Federal Circuit followed, allowing her to represent clients in appeals heard by that court. Those credentials shape the geographic and procedural reach of her practice.
Early in her career she worked on matters that crossed state lines and involved federal questions. Over time she added the procedural tools required to operate in different court systems. That experience informed how she prepares filings, manages discovery and approaches oral argument in both state and federal settings.
Her work touches on issues that routinely appear in state courts of Missouri and Kansas as well as matters that belong in federal appellate dockets. She handles case intake, dispositive motion practice and brief writing for matters that will be decided at the trial level or on appeal. Colleagues describe her as deliberate in preparing records and careful in mapping legal theories to procedural posture.
Clients who come to the Spradlin Kennedy Law Office find representation that aligns with the demands of multi-jurisdictional practice. Cases sometimes require coordinated filings in both state court and federal appeals, and her admissions allow her to carry matters across those lines without interruption. She works with local counsel when a case requires broader resources or specialized trial support.
Outside the courtroom she contributes to the office’s strategy sessions and helps prepare colleagues for appellate work. She maintains active licensure in Missouri and Kansas and remains admitted to practice before the Federal Circuit. Her current practice handles civil and appellate matters in Missouri, Kansas and the Federal Circuit.
